Release It! v3

Update now: npm install -g release-it

Remember, there is a "dry run" option, and a "no-questions-asked mode", working well together using release-it -dn:

New features

• Animated spinners, checkmarks and duration (in --non-interactive mode).
• Disable specific tasks within the release process (e.g. skip tagging the commit).
• Use --no- with CLI arguments to negate boolean settings, such as --no-npm.publish or --no-src.tag.
• Separate github and npm configuration for source and dist repos.
• Support for public scoped npm packages.

Breaking changes

• npm
  • npm.publish is now true by default.
  • The npm. forcePublishSourceRepo is removed. Set npm.publish and dist.npm.publish to true as needed.
• Github Release
  • Former githubAssets are now at github.assets and dist.github.assets.
  • Set github.release and/or dist.github.release to true as needed
• Generic
  • The local configuration file .release.json must be renamed to .release-it.json.
  • The --message shortcut is no longer available (use src.commitMessage).
  • The prereleaseId option is renamed to preReleaseId.
  • Removed src.beforeStageCommand. It was pointless, as it was executed right before buildCommand (dist.beforeStageCommand is still there).
  • Removed implicit verbose output. Use --verbose as needed.
  • release-it --debug is now accompanied by DEBUG=release-it:* release-it.

Under the hood

• Finally, a test suite.
• Use modern JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Transpile unsupported features using babel-register.
  • Use ES Modules (import/export) with @std/esm.
  • Switch from when.js to async/await and native promises.
  • Use eslint + prettier for code aesthetics/consistency.
• Switch from home-made async file copy module to cpy.
• Switch from minimist to yargs-parser for CLI argument parsing.
• Use ora for spinners and checkmarks.
• Use debug package for debug output.
• Less retries for GitHub releases/upload assets when it seems pointless to do so.
